After several days of calm, the wedding day of Yan Wanwan and Qin Yu quietly arrived.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Yan Wanwan was pulled out of bed by everyone, and was helped to change into the exquisite wedding dress and start to dress up.

Wang Yuhua stood by, watching her daughter, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with sorrow. No one else from the Yan family was present, only she and Yan Xiaorui were there, and the wedding scene seemed a bit lonely.

Yan Wanwan fought back a deep sense of sleepiness, struggled to open her eyes, looked at her weeping mother, and jokingly advised, "Mom, maybe it's a good thing that Dad and brother aren't coming. Think about it, my original journey back home to recognize my family was already full of setbacks, and now I'm getting married off for someone else. You know Dad's temper best. If he gets angry, I won't be able to handle it."

After hearing this witty remark, Wang Yuhua was stunned at first, and then burst out laughing. The originally strong and sentimental atmosphere instantly dissipated like smoke.

She gently tapped Yan Wanwan's forehead and scolded her, "You little girl, you're about to get married, and you're still so outspoken and talking nonsense."

Yan Wanwan pouted slightly and muttered softly, "Mom, I'm telling the truth. I just came back to try to find my roots, but I didn't expect to be involved in this substitutionary marriage. If Dad, with his fiery temper, knew about this, he would be furious and break my legs. My eldest and second brothers won't let me off easily either. They might even twist my head off and kick it like a ball."

When Wang Yuhua heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she shouted loudly: "They dare! If they dare to lay a finger on you, I will fight them to the death and chop them off."

Yan Wanwan was deeply moved and immediately threw herself into Wang Yuhua's arms, hugging her tightly and calling out affectionately, "Mom, you still love me the most. In this world, you are the only one who treats me the best."

Wang Yuhua looked at her with both anger and amusement, her heart still full of complaints, "It's okay for you to go and recognize your relatives, but how can you agree to such a thing? You are being wronged for no reason!" In her opinion, after knowing the bad behavior of the Lu family, she should have gotten away from it as soon as possible, why bother to get entangled with them like this.

Yan Wanwan muttered to herself: Could she really say that getting married was the best thing she wanted? After all, she wanted to pursue her grand infrastructure plans, and being the "wife of the lame general" was the perfect fit. If she were the adopted daughter of the Prince of Zhennan, she'd probably be suspected by those in power, constantly on guard against the secret guards trying to take her life!

Just as she was thinking this, Wang Yuhua began to complain again, "It's all your fault, you naughty girl. You refused to let me invite anyone else to celebrate. Look how deserted this house is. There are only three of us. I'm afraid we'll be laughed at when the wedding procession arrives."

Yan Wanwan looked at her elder sister for help. She acted like this simply to avoid acquaintances. It would be bad if she was exposed.

Yan Xiaorui had no choice but to bite the bullet and join in: "Mom, I don't have many friends here. If I rashly invite people over, I'm afraid most of them will come to see me and make fun of me. It's better not to invite them. If you really don't think there are enough people, I will go and invite the Lu family. What do you think?"

Wang Yuhua glared at her fiercely and scolded her, "You're talking nonsense."

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report: "Madam, Miss, there are several ladies outside to add makeup for you."

Yan Wanwan looked surprised because she didn't recognize any of the young ladies mentioned by the housekeeper.

Finally, Wang Yuhua made up her mind: "Since you're here, we can't turn you away. Please come in."

Wang Yuhua turned around and went back to the main hall to take charge of the overall situation, and the reception matters were handed over to Yan Wanwan and Yan Xiaorui.

In a flash, a group of noble ladies filed in. As soon as they stepped over the threshold, they burst into sharp laughter.

"Look at this young lady who was just adopted by the Lu family. She's so arrogant. On this wedding day, she's all alone. Could it be that she doesn't even take our noble lady from Jingzhao seriously?"

"Who says it's not true? Everyone knows that Miss Lu doesn't even care about her own sister, so what can outsiders like us do?"

"Wait a minute, this doesn't seem to be Lord Lu's residence, right? Miss Yan, could it be that you have been disliked by the Lu family and can only marry in this small courtyard?"

Yan Wanwan always had a smile on her face, said nothing, and watched their performance calmly.

Yan Xiaorui was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She wanted to rush forward and curse, but was held tightly by Yan Wanwan.

"Sister, today is a happy day. Don't let the barking of dogs make you lose your composure. Otherwise, others won't be able to tell who is the biting dog."

Yan Xiaorui immediately understood and chuckled, "Indeed, on such a happy day, a mad dog came to disrupt the celebration and tried to spoil the joy. It's really ridiculous."

At this moment, the noble ladies finally came to their senses and shouted at the two of them, "How dare you call someone a dog?"

"Whoever answers is the one."

The woman was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She suddenly stretched out her hand, trying to grab Hua Yan Wanwan's beautiful face.

But Yan Wanwan was calm and collected. She picked up the teacup and took a sip without any hurry.

In an instant, a cup of scalding hot tea was splashed all over the lady's face, leaving everyone on the scene stunned.

Yan Wanwan raised her head and said to her coldly, "Open your eyes and see clearly what kind of place this is. If you want to act wild, get out of here."

The woman suddenly let out a shrill scream, covered her face with her hands, and rushed out in panic.

Seeing that she was not easy to mess with, the others gradually put away their arrogance.

At this time, one of them came out to smooth things over and said, "I heard that Miss Yan's dowry is extremely generous. I wonder if we can broaden our horizons."

After Yan Wanwan finished speaking, she looked around leisurely. The yard was completely empty, so clean that there wasn't even a shadow of a box. Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Miss Yan, don't you even have a dowry? Lord Lu is too cruel. You are his biological daughter after all, why doesn't he prepare any dowry? When you go to the general's mansion, won't you be looked down upon by General Qin?"

As soon as one person finished speaking, someone else immediately followed up, "What's there to belittle about General Qin? He's just a cripple now, and the fact that he's able to marry is a favor from the emperor. What else can you expect?"

"Oh, what you said is true. I wonder who was chasing after General Qin every day, calling him General Qin all the time." Another person next to him immediately responded.

"That's right, you and General Qin were childhood sweethearts, everyone was envious of you. If it weren't for that... well, I can only say it's fate."

The woman immediately lowered her head shyly and scolded softly, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of Miss Yan? It would be terrible if she misunderstood."

Then he pretended to explain to Yan Wanwan: "Ms. Yan, please don't misunderstand me. General Qin and I are just childhood playmates. There is no other relationship."

Yan Wanwan also understood this wave of green tea and green words. She originally thought that these noble ladies were Lu Wanru's best friends who came specifically to avenge her, but she didn't expect that they were Qin Yu's bad peach blossoms who came purely to cause trouble for her.

Yan Wanwan waved her hand magnanimously at the woman and said slowly, "Don't be sad, young lady. Although you and Qin Yu have been friends for many years, he hasn't planned to marry you in all these years. It shows that you are not that important to him. No matter how much childhood sweethearts you have, it's all in vain. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any business with you."

Humph, he wouldn't choose you even if he was lame. Why don't you look for the reason in yourself? Who are you in this yin and yang situation?

The woman's face suddenly became extremely strange, turning from red to white, and then from white to blue.

She originally wanted to mock Qin Yu for being a cripple, but Yan Wanwan made such a subtle sarcasm. She felt angry and annoyed, but she didn't know how to vent her anger.
